Southwest Harbor Maine Hotels, Lodging

Nestled at the opening entrance of Somes Sound, the Mount Desert Island town of Southwest Harbor is a Maine state beauty waiting to be rediscovered again and again.  It sits on the quietest side of Mount Desert, offering visitors a more mellow environment and easy access to the majority of local tourist type destinations than any other settlement on the island.  Accommodations vary from the very simple to the very exclusive, and there is always something to satisfy all tastes, budgets and needs.

Being a yacht building haven, Southwest Harbor is the perfect place for holidays. It offers nineteen different types of accommodations, including lodges, inns, hotels, motels, cottages, private vacation rental homes, campsites, bed and breakfasts, cabins and rental condos.
